5 Herbs That Help Induce Lucid Dreams

The latest trend in lucid dreaming is the use of herbs to increase dream recall and trigger more dreams where you become aware you are dreaming. There are more than enough legal natural herbs that are completely safe, have no side effects, don't put any strain on your nervous system, and have many positive physiological benefits. These herbs can greatly increase your chance to go lucid, but they will not do the trick alone. These herbs are worthless if not taken with the right mindset, as well as more traditional forms of lucid dreaming induction. However, taken with intention, respect, and as part of an ongoing mind-training program, these herbs may enhance the opportunities to work with self-awareness in the dream. Here are five legal herbs that will help induce lucid dreams:
 
 1. Mugwort: Mugwort is a commonly used herb in Europe. It's believed to help settle the stomach and treat digestive troubles, and it can also be used as a dream augmenter. Mugwort can be smoked, burned as an incense, or used as a tea.

2. Mexican Tarragon: Tarragon is another dream enhancing herb. It's commonly used in Mexican dishes and is frequently used in traditional Dia De Los Muertos observances for its powers of inducing lucid dreaming. This can be used as a tea or incense as well.

3. African Dream Bean: Off the coast of Madagascar, as well as in some parts of Australia and Asia, you'll find this rather common bean growing. It's used sometimes as a skin treatment and is also great for teething babies. It's most interesting use is its power to induce not just lucid dreams, but dreams that purportedly connect you with the spirit realm. The bean itself is eaten for this effect.

4. Wild Asparagus Root: Wild asparagus root, which is fairly widespread, is legendary for allowing your consciousness to soar during sleep. It purportedly helps you achieve dreams of other dimensions and places as you sleep. It can also help relieve stress and help keep your lungs and kidneys healthy.

5. Blue Lotus: For the ancient Egyptians, the Blue Lotus was among the most sacred of plants. It was associated with life origins and divine perspectives. It was also used to stimulate sex drive and fertility. The ancients believed it could slow down the process of aging. Many believe that this flower was soaked in water or wine and could be used as an intoxicant. It helped its user achieve visionary states.
